The global market demand for electronic materials in 2006 was about 79.3 billion US dollars, an increase of about 20% over 2005. The global market for electronic materials is developing rapidly.

During the "Tenth Five Year Plan" period, China's electronic materials industry developed steadily. The total industrial output value (sales revenue) of the whole industry was about 55 billion yuan, accounting for 1.3% of the total sales of the information industry. Among them, copper clad materials, magnetic materials and semiconductor materials are about 47 billion yuan, with a total export volume of nearly 2.5 billion dollars. The development of China's electronic materials industry during the "Tenth Five Year Plan" period has made certain achievements in various fields, laying a good foundation for the development of the "Eleventh Five Year Plan".

The scale of China's magnetic material industry has ranked first in the world. In 2005, the total production capacity reached 450000 tons, including 290000 tons of permanent ferrite and 160000 tons of soft ferrite. The sales volume was about 25 billion yuan, and the export accounted for more than 50% of the total; In 2005, the market size of China's semiconductor materials was 1.56 billion US dollars. Among them, the semiconductor manufacturing materials market was 497 million dollars, and the packaging materials market was 1.064 billion dollars; In 2005, the annual output of CCL in China was about 200.55 million square meters, with a year-on-year growth of 20.7%. The total sales volume reached 16.9 billion yuan, with a year-on-year growth of 26%. The export volume was 570.18 million dollars, with an annual export volume growth of 5.66%. China's production of copper clad laminate has ranked second in the world.

After China's entry into the WTO, the economic globalization and the adoption of imported materials by users have a great impact on the development of domestic electronic materials. Due to the weak foundation of electronic materials, few achievements in technology research and development and original intellectual property rights, and the lack of effective support from the state, backbone enterprises are unable to solve major issues in the industry. For example, the domestic large-scale production technology of polysilicon raw materials has not been mastered, and there is no large-scale production enterprise so far; High end products such as piezoelectric crystals, magnetic materials and electronic ceramic materials still need to be developed. However, China's electronic material industry has entered a period of rapid development, so risks and opportunities coexist.
